LET'S PLAY
EVER17: OUT OF INFINITY
Prologue
NEW GAME GO
He was in the middle of a blue world.
Our story starts, as so many do, on a boat! It's a wonderful day.
And thusly, the first words are spoken by our first hero! The perspective for this scene is that of TAKESHI.
Takeshi is chilling on a boat, surrounded by the sights and sounds of normal boat life...
Monday, May 1st
Der erste Tag
10 miles from M Island, Komagahara Archipelago, Tokyo
The destination of the boat is this place!
Insel Null, an artificial island off the coast of Japan.
It is a totally awesome place. So awesome, that someone put a slab of rock on it with the inscription:
Where is heaven?
Above the sky, and at your feet...
Looking back, Takeshi sees this thing for some reason.
Their eyes meet, and there is a moment of bizarre silence.
It also seems noteworthy that the tail of the tanuki is being bitten by a girl.
She, in turn, is being bitten by a dog.
This is basically the weirdest shit ever.
The Tanuki speaks!
It has the voice of an ordinary adult woman.
Weirdest day.
A dream that would not let him wake up.
Wake up!
This is a different place.
Is this still Takeshi?
It is not! This is our second protagonist, known - for now - merely as the enigmatic KID.
He's been sitting at this bench for some time, and doesn't quite seem to be sure what's going on. His ice cream melted.
He is waiting for someone. Someone who never showed up.
Who was it again...?
Why is he here again...?
Teetering on the edge of pure confusion, Kid is shaken from his reverie by the helpful staff!
She thinks he is a lost child. Maybe she's right, who knows.
He was waiting!
Staff Girl immediately assumes that it was for her, because she is weird. When she hears the down low, it's pretty cleare that Kid has been stood up!
A tour of LeMU!
What's a LeMU.
Introductions! Apparently this girl's name is YOU TANAKA.
That... that won't be confusing or anything. Apparently it's short for something much longer and more confusing, so she just goes by You.
And so Kid is drawn into You's rhythm.
It's going to be an interesting day...
Back to Takeshi! The Surrealist Parade enters the park, and the entrance to LeMU.
What are these? Apparently Takeshi will need them later.
And inside!
Takeshi doesn't see his friends around. He'll have to wait until he's down below to meet up with them.
Once further in, we are greeted by the lovely staff!
The only one to give her an enthusiastic response is the pink-haired girl from before.
Pink Hair Girl has a name! She is now COCO YAGAMI, and her dog is PIPI.
Coco tries to play comedian! The staff has more important shit to do.
ON TO BUSINESS
LeMU is a theme park, and this is the entrance!
But we can't enter right away - this is a compression chamber. Over the next 17 minutes, it will gradually increase the air pressure to six atmospheres, thus giving our bodies time to adjust.
We are now given an explanation of the structure of LeMU!
There are four floors counting the surface level, and it is all completely underwater, at a depth ranging from 51 to 103 feet. From top to bottom, the levels are Insel null, Erste boden, Zweite stock and Dritte stock. It's like a building with a ground floor and three basement levels.
Coco is bored by this explanation!
She wants to tell Takeshi her awesome joke that the staff didn't want to listen to earlier.
It's an AMERICAN joke.
It's our first decision point, and it's nice and minor!
Not now, little girl, the adults are talking.
>Listen to the staffer's explanation.
LeMU is very carefully designed! The outside water pressure can't crush it, because the inside air pressure is higher.
The headphones explained!
Since the high-pressure atmosphere is composed in a fair amount by helium, these process incoming voices and lower them, because otherwise we would all sound like rejects from Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Takeshi's first response to this is to use the knowledge to troll Coco. A classy dude, he is.
One minute remaining! Soon we'll be out of the pressurization chamber.
Takeshi goes to ask the staff girl if she saw his friends around, but she's already gone...
Back to Kid! You is wondering why he tried to meet up with his friends here instead of coming together.
Kid, distressingly finds that he can't even really remember who he was waiting for.
You posits that Kid has been stood the fuck up!
For all we know, she is right. She sure seems to think so.
While technically You is on the LeMU staff, she doesn't seem to have anything better to do than show Kid around!
How convenient.
In the sardine-packed elevator, You trolls Kid with some innuendo-laden teasing!
Can this be over soon.
Suddenly in a wild rush, Kid sprints from the elevator as soon as it opens! What is his deal?
It's because he saw a glimpse someone.
Someone familiar. Someone he almost remembers.
It's the girl he was waiting for! Maybe!
Kid tries to focus, calm down, and say something. But what's he gonna say? Who IS she?
What's going on?
Before any of these questions can be answered, Kid is caught up in a wave of people and loses the trail. Did she call out to him? He isn't quite sure.
Hey, it's the girl from the compression chamber scene that Kid wasn't in!
Kid tries to convey his dilemma, but it's hard, when he doesn't even know the girl's name.
He is interrupted by someone rushing to the scene!
Kid encounters a man in LeMU.
Takeshi encounters a boy in LeMU.
He describes his friends, but the kid hasn't seen them.
As Takeshi leaves the scene, Coco starts harassing Kid about her joke! ONWARDS WE GO
Takeshi wanders the park aimlessly, alone and kind of annoyed about it. Where the hell are his friends?
LeMU staff member found! Even if it's someone in a tanuki suit.
HARASS
The tanuki is giving Takeshi the cold shoulder!
Or maybe it can't hear him with that giant costume.
HEY LISTEN HEY LISTEN HEY LISTEN HEY LISTEN HEY LISTEN HEY LISTEN HEY LISTEN
SUDDENLY GUT PUNCH WHAT THE FUCK
You appears, wondering if I'm having stomach pain!
Let's forgive an forget for now.
>No, forget it.
The perpetrator escapes the scene of the crime, because Takeshi can't bear to admit that he got sucker-punched by a mascot character.
All we learn from You is that the tanuki mascot's name is MYUMYUN!
Added to the court record.
As Takeshi wanders around looking for his friends, he reflects that this is the worst theme park ever.
Coco, You, Helpful Staff and Takeshi are all gone!
Kid is once again alone.
A mysterious womanly voice!
It beckons Kid to a side room.
This is the girls' changing room.
Tanuki, are you hitting on Kid.
WEIRDEST
FUCKING
DAY
The mysterious Tanuki Bandit apparently somehow got Kid into the tanuki suit without him ever seeing her.
Back to Takeshi!
I'm sure you can guess where this is going.
Interrogation of the tanuki suit wearer only reveals an incredibly confused Kid!
Just as Takeshi is starting to put together that he's been duped, Kid passes out!
Let's get this Kid somewhere to rest, stat!
Covered in sweltering, repulsive tanuki suit, Kid loses track of what's going on...
Probably just heat exhaustion! He'll be fine.
You will handle it from here, so Takeshi heads out.
A cool breeze floats through the hallway...
In his half-awake state, Kid sees something odd...
Who... Who is this...?
Takeshi stumbles in to an elevator find a girl there! She gives him a suspicious stare.
As soon as she sees Takeshi, she starts to unload a bunch of kind of abrasive questions! What the hell.
IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE, CONKSUCK
>Just exactly who are YOU?
The girl's answers are cryptic and unhelpful! What a mysterious bitch.
But then, it begins.
She almost seems to know something about what's going on...
Surrounded by darkness, Kid sees that girl again.
She might not be there, though, because he can't hear her, and his voice can't reach her...
Kid sees himself talking to the girl from a distance.
But if that's him...
...then who is...
It's like a bad dream.
The lights go out.
Kid knows, somehow, that there's someone else here.
Don't come out, he urges.
Don't crawl out of there.
But it's okay.
Because he's alone again.
Nobody hears Takeshi's cries from the elevator...
Finally alone, a strange change seems to come over Kid...
There's nobody to restrain him now...
Pitch Black.
Nothing moved.
He didn't move either.
He didn't hear anything.
Just echoes from something invisible.
Time froze.
If he stopped here, he felt like he would forget that he was even alive.
It was his intuition.
Only a little more...
No! He had to get out.
But he didn't even know which direction to go.
But what could he do?
What could...
He didn't know.
He didn't know...
...
That must be it.
The way out of this darkness...
This is the most important choice point in the game - it determines whether the main character for the rest of the game is Takeshi or Kid.
Who will it be? Stay tuned and find out tomorrow!
